Because of that, I’ll be sticking to Infuse 6 Pro (standalone) until it stops working - unless the free version of 7, or one of the alternatives I’m currently investigating, pans out. Nothing against or Firecore I’ve just been burnt too many times before with so-called ‘lifetime’ subscriptions that aren’t, subscriptions that stop working when the company closes or loses interest, and ‘updates’ that remove ‘little-used’ functionality I use or have become reliant on. Put simply, I will not buy subscription software. Even more so when I discovered that the stand-alone version had been dropped. I’m not a regular visitor to either the Firecore website or these forums, so the release of v7 took me by surprise when I learned of it the other day. If those issues are due to a permanent change in Apple’s APIs, will v6 standalone also see an update to continue working when TVOS 15 is released?Īnd is there a list of differences between the free and subscription versions of v7 available? I seem to recall there was for 5 & 6, but I can’t find anything beyond the vague “Additional video formats”, “HD quality audio”, etc mentioned on the Features page. I also see that there’s playback issues with the TVOS 15 beta. If I install the ‘free’ version of Infuse 7, will it co-exist happily with the standalone v6? That is, will I end up with two separate & working versions to choose from, each using their own library etc & not interfering with each other - or will it replace, corrupt the library of, or otherwise render the existing installation of v6 inoperable?Īlso, glad to see there’s plans to update v6 for when TVDB drops their old API. The only caveat is that the DDNS service expires if you don’t use it once every 60 days.I’m currently using Infuse 6 Pro (standalone) on an AppleTV HD (4th gen). It seems convoluted, but you only have to do this once and you should be right. Click Save, and if everything is correct is should connect remotely to your Synology NAS and show a list of folders.Īnd that’s it. Click Advanced, and add the WebDAV portal from step 2 (in my case, 5006). ), add your username and password of your Synology NAS. Name the share (can be anything), change the Protocol to WebDAV (HTTPS), add your DDNS address that you created above (i.e.In Infuse, under Settings, select Add Files, then select via Network Share.Unfortunately a lot of routers are different so you might have to Google how to forward ports on your specific model. I forwarded both TCP and UDP and also added the same rule for IPv4 and IPv6. Some times you can use EZ Connect to do this automatically, but in my case I had to go to my router, and add a new port forward rule for Port 5006 to the IP address of my Synology NAS. The final step was to forward port 5006 on my Router.If you have a firewall turned on, I also added the WebDAV (5006) application to the server by going to Control Panel–>Security, select Firewall, Edit Rules for Firewall Profile, and adding a new firewall rule for ‘select from a list of built-in applications’ and selected WebDAV Server on portal 5006.Under Applications, ensure WebDAV Server is ticked with Allow (I am also assuming your user has appropriate read/write access to the shared folders you have set up).Select a hostname, and fill out your Synology NAS username and password For Service Provider, I used Synology (which gives you a DDNS).Open Control Panel and open External Access (under Connectivity).All other options on this page were left off. Open WebDAV Server and turn on Enable HTTPS (in my case it already had portal 5006 in the HTTPS port box).Log into your Synology NAS, and install WebDAV Server from the Package Centre.Some of these steps might not be needed (and I’m no expert), but hopefully they work for you. The reasons you’d want to do this is to access your media files when you’re away from home.Īfter searching through Infuse forums and Reddit, I have mashed together various instructions into a process that worked for me. I was recently struggling to find a complete list of instructions to follow to share my Synology NAS to Infuse via WebDAV.
